Did you know after you left

I was completely shattered?
Did you know after you left

To me nothing seemed to matter?

Did you know after you left

Everything good left with you?
Did you know after you left

Everyone I relied on fell through?

Did you know after you left

I had to start from scratch?

I lost who I was,

I felt my body and soul detach.

Did you know after you left

A bandage covered my wounded heart?
Did you know after you left

I still had faith our friendship wouldn’t fall apart?

Did you know after you left

All our friends quit coming around?
Did you know after you left

Each night I cried as I put my face down?

Did you know after you left

I had no one to call?
Did you know after you left

There was only ONE other person there for me?

And now that person isn’t here at all.

Did you know after you left

Some of my joy past away?
Did you know after you left

I was cast out every church day?
Did you know after you left

My world felt small?
No you didn’t, you never even called

Did you know after you didn’t call

I felt like you didn’t care?
Did you know after you didn’t call

I thought God’s plan was unfair?



Did you know after you didn’t call
Apathy overwhelmed my mind?
My passion for things I once loved soon began to decline.

Do you know now that you are gone

That my life has continued?
Do you know now that you are gone

Our time spent together was simply a prelude?

Do you know now that you’re gone

That I’ve made new friends and replaced you?
Do you know now that you’re gone

I have people I can talk with like we once used to?


Do you know now that you’re gone

I’ve moved on, and you have not?
Do you know now that you’re gone

I’ve lived my teen years and have let yours rot?

Do you know now that you’re gone

I’ve made a new life?
Do you know now that you’re gone

I made it through the lousy days and strife?

Do you know now that you are gone

God loves me, regardless of my sins?
Do you know now that you’re gone

I have a new slate as each day begins?

Do you know now that you are gone

Your faith does not rank high above?
Do you know now that you are gone

That I am worthy of the same love?

Do you know now that you are gone

That you’re a stranger to me?
Do you know now?

You always will be.
